  Prediction: when the new “functional” keyboards come to the entire MacBook lineup, we're gonna have a couple quarters of exploding Mac sales. Years of pent up demand from those of us who have been waiting on the sidelines. https://www.techmeme.com/...

  It is both a compliment and a condemnation of Apple that I am extremely excited about spending thousands of dollars on a laptop because it has a functioning keyboard. Lots of important subtle points in @gruber's overview ("de-Jony-Ive-ification" anyone?) https://daringfireball.ne…
